I think the correct and obvious connection you grossly missed is that JRPGs and Platforms focus mostly on a robust and well-written story. Shooters have a tendency to have forgetable campaign cause the main drive is the multiplayer action and thus the campaign gamers are notoriously put off by the wash-away campaign and their characters. To each their own.
However, games like my favorite shooter this gen, Spec Ops: The Line prove that any game, even shooters, can have deep and intricate stories and engaging characters and plot lines.
